As expected, Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the LIV Golf League for the 2026 season starting on February 7 in Riyadh. The five-time major champion will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for his family, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s friendly statement. Koepka, known as a competitive player who thrives under high-level competition, seemed less motivated during his time with LIV, having joined in 2022 due to injury concerns and to secure his retirement funds. Questions remain whether he had to buy out his contract or repay some guaranteed money. He remains the owner of LIV’s Smash GC team, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation grows about which tours Koepka will play on next: DP World Tour, where he could immediately compete possibly with a penalty, or back on the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension after his last LIV participation. This suspension was softened from an initial lifetime ban. According to ESPN reporter Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and be reinstated among the players.
